Definitions

  • This invention relates to improving the characteristics of arylene sulfide polymer compositions.
  • this invention relates to the use of cure promoters in poly(arylene sulfide) polymer compositions.
  • this invention relates to the use of cure promoters in poly(arylene sulfide) polymer compositions to enhance cross-linking or substantial alteration of physical properties during heating.
  • this invention relates to the use of metal salts of dihydrocarbyldithiophosphinic acid as curing agents for arylene sulfide polymers, e.g., poly(phenylene sulfide), the resulting polymer products, and to a process for enhancing the cure of such polymers.
  • arylene sulfide polymers In the production of arylene sulfide polymers, it is sometime desirable that the melt flow and molecular weight of the polymer be changed during processing of the polymer.
  • Various procedures have been utilized to cause arylene sulfide polymers to change in physical properties during processing. It is well known that arylene sulfide polymers can be treated in a manner such that the polymer properties substantially change during heating of the polymer by incorporating into the polymer a curing promoter. A new group of curing agents has now been discovered.
  • an object of this invention is to provide a process for promoting the curing of arylene sulfide polymers.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide cured arylene sulfide polymers.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide effective curing agents for poly(phenylene sulfide).
  • the curing of arylene sulfide polymers is accelerated by the addition of a finite, but small effective amount of at least one metal salt of dihydrocarbyldithiophosphinic acid which promotes crosslinking of the polymer during heating.
  • the curing of poly(phenylene sulfide) polymer during heating is promoted by the addition of a metal dihydrocarbyldithio phosphinate.
  • an arylene sulfide polymer e.g., poly(phenylene sulfide) is heated in the pressure of a finite, but small effective amount, sufficient to enhance curing (based on the storage modulus results obtained with a Rheometric Dynamic Spectrometer) of the polymer of at least one metal dihydrocarbyldithiophosphinate, particularly cobalt and zinc dicyclohexyldithiophosphinates.
  • Arylene sulfide polymers which can be employed in the process of this invention include arylene sulfide polymers which have a melt flow of at least about 10 and generally within the range of about 20 to about 400 and higher (determined by the method of ASTM D 1238-70, modified to a temperature of 316° C. and using a 5-kg weight, the value being expressed as g/10 min.).
  • the arylene sulfide polymers can be linear, branched or lightly cross-linked.
  • the preferred arylene sulfide polymer is a linear poly(p-phenylene sulfide) (PPS) having a melting or softening point of at least 150° C., preferably 230° C. to 330° C.
  • PPS poly(p-phenylene sulfide)
  • the method by which the polymers of this description are produced is not critical, preferably the polymer employed in the process is prepared by use of polyhaloaromatic compounds, alkali metal sulfides, and organic amides.
  • the arylene sulfide polymers for use in this invention can be produced by the method of U.S. Pat. No. 3,354,129, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
  • the polymer employed can be prepared by use of a p-dihalobenzene, an alkali metal sulfide, an organic amide, and an alkali metal carboxylate as in U.S. Pat. No. 3,919,177, optionally, together with an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide.
  • an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide.
  • the metal salts of dihydrocarbyldithiophosphinic acid used as curing promoters according to the invention have the general formula ##STR1## where M is a metal selected from among copper, zinc, chromium, manganese, cobalt and nickel, n is the valence of M and is generally 2, and R, R' are the same or different hydrocarbon (hydrocarbyl) radicals containing from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, preferably from about 4 to about 12 carbon atoms, selected from among alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl and combinations thereof such as alkaryl. Cycloalkyl radicals are presently preferred.
  • Exemplary compounds include:
  • nickel(II) dibenzyldithiophosphinate and the like and mixtures.
  • Zinc and cobalt dicyclohexyldithiophosphinates are presently preferred.
  • the amount of curing promoter incorporated into the arylene sulfide polymer will be a finite, effective amount sufficient to accelerate curing of the polymer.
  • the curing agent additives of this invention are employed in an amount within the range of about 0.2 to about 5, preferably about 0.5 to 2 weight percent based on the weight of the arylene sulfide polymer.
  • compositions can contain other ingredients conventionally employed in arylene sulfide polymer compositions.
  • fillers such as titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, aluminum oxide, aluminum silicate, ferric oxide, silicon dioxide, asbestos fibers, glass fibers, and poly(tetrafluoroethylene), pigments, resins, and/or plasticizers, and the like can be present.
  • the cure promoter can be incorporated into the arylene sulfide polymer at any stage of processing, preferably prior to being subjected to elevated temperature.
  • the cure promoters are incorporated into the arylene sulfide polymer, such as a poly(phenylene sulfide) polymer, prior to forming articles by injection molding.
  • the processes of this invention of incorporating the cure promoters into the polymer can be conducted batch-wise or continuously.
  • a series of samples was prepared by mixing individual portions of a linear poly(p-phenylene sulfide), abbreviated PPS, with a specified metal dihydrocarbyldithiophosphinate, when employed.
  • PPS linear poly(p-phenylene sulfide), abbreviated PPS
  • the PPS was produced in the manner described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,919,177.
  • the recovered polymer was in the form of a powder (fluff) having a melt flow of 250 g/10 minutes as determined in accordance with ASTM D 1238-70, modified to a temperature of 316° C. and using a 5 kg weight.
  • the PPS powder was admixed with about 50 mL of an acetone solution containing 0.15 g of the metal dihydrocarbyldithiophosphinate.
  • the solvent was removed by evaporation over a suitable period of time at ambient conditions, e.g. overnight or longer, if needed, in a laboratory fume hood.
  • the dried powders were stirred and additionally dried in a vacuum oven at room temperature (about 23° C.) for approximately 2 hours.
  • Discs measuring 1 ⁇ 0.25 inches (2.54 ⁇ 0.64 cm) were compression molded from about 2.5 g of each mixture at room temperature by employing a mold and a laboratory press using a platen pressure of about 10,000 psig (69 MPa). Each cold molded disc was subsequently compression molded into test buttons measuring about 1 ⁇ 0.1875 inches (2.54 ⁇ 0.48 cm) at 325° C.
  • the molding cycle typically comprised 21/2 minutes at a platen pressure of about 5,000-10,000 psig (34-69 MPa) and 21/2 minutes at a platen pressure of about 30,000 psig (207 MPa). While maintaining the latter pressure, heating was discontinued and cooling started by circulating tap water through the platens. When the mold temperature reached about 121° C., the pressure was released and the test button was removed from the mold.
  • test button was evaluated for changes in degree of crosslinking or melt viscosity in a test employing a Rheometric Dynamic Spectrometer.
  • the test which is useful in measuring the thermal stability of a sample, determines storage modulus of a sample as a function of time at a constant shear of 10 radians per second at 300° C.
  • the cobalt salt-containing sample has a storage modulus value about 2.8 times greater than the control and the zinc salt-containing sample has a storage modulus value about 2.4 times greater than, the control. Since melt viscosity (degree of crosslinking) is directly proportional to storage modulus it is clear that the cobalt and zinc salts are acting as cure promoters for PPS as compared to the control in view of their substantially greater storage modulus values which accelerate throughout the length of the test.
